I have done it twice...
Here are basically the rules...
1. You have to get there before 8pm otherwise the cops will close off the street and will make you walk around in an endless circle of barriers making you believe you have a chance to get in.
2. Bring beer because all the bars in time square are pretty much closed. We brought a backpack with us last time with 50+ beers (yes it was a large backpack haha!)
3. Be prepared to piss anywhere because there are no toilets or portopotties. My friend actually got kicked out one year for pissing on a wall and the cop was a nazi and was threatening to arrest him. There were like 50 guys pissing on a wall and he was the only one that was caught.
4. There really is nothing going on in time square other than a bunch of people standing around in the cold and waiting. We didn't see any bands or events going on, it's pretty boring unless you're hammered like we were.
5. Once the ball drops that's pretty much it, you head home
Anyways it's something to say you have done once in your life and I am glad I did it, but I would not do it again ;-)
